Difference in Model Years
Can someone give me a brief description in the differences in model years from 2001 to 2003. Ive read a bit online but cant get a clear cut answer. Is there a huge difference in handling etc?

6speed for '03 w/o the VSA is the biggest difference... everything else is hardly worth noting
Hmm.. maybe this is why the CL died out

they don't come with the note pad and pen anymore. and also the '03 has two emergency trunk release inside that glows in the dark in case you fall into your trunk and it locks you in. the head lights have black housing. I think thats everything.

'02's got thicker glass in the side windows and sunroof. Outside mirrors in addition to being smallerare tinted. Did they do away with the whole tray on the non-navi models Bullaculla? I use that tray all of the time! At least Acura didn't "decontent" their vehicles after the initial launch like a lot of auto makers do, they made some nice minor improvements
